 | | The Pound Cake Speech was given by Bill Cosby in May 2004, at an event to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Brown v. |
 | | It is noted, in the speech transcript, that the largely fl audience of professionals, activists, and elected officials, such as Barack Obama and Jesse Jackson, cheered and applauded the points in his speech; however, the tone of the national media's reporting (see some examples above) suggested division and condescension against all fls. |
 | | In the same speech he had scathing remarks for Christians and the police, as well as praise for the efforts of Black Muslims and their effectiveness in positive social change for the urban population he was referring to, however, these statements were not prominent in media reporting. |
